May 1st is the date that Sony hopes will usher in the era of digital cinemas. That's the date their CineAlta 4K digital cinema solution goes on sale in Japan. With the SRX-R220 at its core, the 5-foot / 660-pound CineAlta 4K system projects a 4,096 x 2,160 pixel image at 18,000 lumens off its 4.2kW bulb. The 300GB films are stored in an encrypted JPEG2000 format within Sony's 19-inch, LMT-100 "media block" RAID array. Sony is counting on about 1/3 of Japan's 3,000 cinemas taking on their ¥1.5 million ($12,651) per screen solution by 2010 with even higher hopes for the US market. They'll need lots of help since projection systems are just a tiny fraction of the total conversion costs required to move cinemas into the digital age.

It will be pretty cool to see digital projectors replace those [usually] shitty film projectors at the movie theater.

i know T.O. has a few cinemas with digital projectors...I saw eps III on both and I didn't really notice that big of a difference, except for maybe a few imperfections...

I think the price is wrong, its more like $200,000 :shock:

Went to see sw episode 3 in a digital theater, and some colors look grainy or with "noise"

I have a digital theater near my house :shock: awesome

$12,651 sounds like more on the consumer pricing side. And as they said, the projector screen is only tiny fraction of the cimema upgrade. Audio processors and speakers will probably cost another huge chunk of money.

This shall be the final death blow to kodak.

.. and the entire film community.

Kodak should have looked into the digital future decades ago though. I'm sure they saw the end coming.

they did invent the first digital camera in the 60's

But they didn't realize how big of an impact it would be on future business.

I didn't realize they were the ones to invent the digital camera. You would think since they did, they would still be on top or at least able to compete with today's photo and video world.

Do any of their digital patents still hold to the digital cameras today? Maybe they are getting cash from every digital camera sold.

I was scanning up the page to get to my last post, when all I saw was that Jabba had quoted himself. I thought all the spam was getting to him :D
